LEAVE ME GREEN
By Lisi DeHaas
Directed by Jay Stull
At the Gym at Judson
What do a failed soap opera star, her co-dependent teenage son, his neurotic twelve-stepping girlfriend, and the pot dealer across the hall have in common? They're each surviving members of families broken by loss. But in New York City, families aren't just broken, they're reconstituted, rebuilt and redefined. LEAVE ME GREEN investigates the dream of creating our own families in this city of refugees. It also tests the strength of that dream when our mother or brother or father or lover who first imagined such a family with us is never coming back. When we lose a loved one, do we also lose the family we so richly imagined with them? Or do we remember them better by rebuilding a family from the broken pieces that remain?
